Exquisite Limoges pierced reticulated plate with elaborate heavy gold. Hand painted with stylized Art Nouveau pink, blue, and gold blooming thistle, gold, undulating stems, gold and green leaves, and extensive gold detail. Measures 9" in diameter and marked simply T. & V., one of Tressemann & Vogt's earliest marks used in the early 1890's. Superb, excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or wear to the elaborate gold, this plate is magnificent.
